The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via the central locking system. You can use the following (depending on the equipment on your vehicle):
Unlocking one side of the vehicle only
When you lock the vehicle, the central locking system will lock the doors and the boot lid. When you unlock the vehicle, the central locking system will unlock either the driver's door only, or all the locks on the vehicle, depending on the setting you have selected in the MMI* ►Link.
Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and the boot lid when the vehicle exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.
The vehicle is unlocked again when the ignition key is removed. Alternatively, the vehicle can also be unlocked via the central locking switch or by pulling one of the inside door handles. The Auto Lock function can be switched on and off on the sound system or MMI* ►Link.
In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, the doors will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.
Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the vehicle is unlocked and once when the vehicle is locked.
If the turn signals do not flash, one of the doors, the bonnet or the boot lid is still open. On vehicles with the convenience key, the ignition may still be switched on.
Accidental lock-out
The central locking system prevents you from being locked out of the vehicle in the following situations:
- When the driver's door is open, the vehicle will not be locked if you press the central locking switch and then close the door ►Link.
- On vehicles with convenience key*, the boot lid will be released again automatically if the key that was last in use is left inside the boot when the boot lid is closed.
To prevent yourself from being locked out, do not lock the vehicle with the remote control key/convenience key* until all of the doors and the boot lid are closed.
Note
- Never leave any valuable items in the vehicle unattended. Even a locked vehicle is not a safe.
- When you lock the vehicle, the LED on the driver's window sill flashes. If the LED is still on about 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked, the central locking system is not working properly. You should have the malfunction repaired by a qualified workshop.
